Lady A turned in her chair. “But she already questioned me about that. Do you really think she still suspects me?” Concern and fear colored Lady A’s voice as she looked up at Sapphyre innocently as though she were confiding in a best friend.
Again, Sapphyre shrugged. “She’s coming here for a reason, A. It’s either to get you to confess, or she really wants to fuck you, and you’re just not giving it up. If that’s the case, could you take one for the team, please? It’s bad for business having a cop hanging around all the time.”
“Shehas to buy a full package,” Lady A said to Sapphyre’s retreating figure. “I can’t just have sex with a client who hasn’t paid for it.”
“That’s the difference between you and me, A. You’re always a Lady.” Sapphyre winked and sashayed down the corridor as she called out, “Send her to me if she needs someone a little less proper.”
Lady A had to remember she was being watched. Therefore, she couldn’t run after Sapphyre and throat punch her. Oh, she could imagine it—that very scene was currently playing on a loop in her head—but her demeanor had to remain unbothered. So, she casually went back to getting ready for her night as though she didn’t know what was in store.
“It seems Lady A has a stalker.”
Jaime turned away from the bar to see a massive pair of tits in her line of sight.What was this one’s name? A gem of some kind.“Sapphyre, right?”
Sapphyre smiled. “I’m surprised you know anyone else’s name. Or maybe I should say I’m flattered.” She stepped closer; those breasts now pressed up against Jaime’s side. “There may be hope for you yet.”
Jaime respectfully moved away until they were no longer touching. “I’m sure you’re great, but I have a…type.”
Sapphyre piqued Jaime’s curiosity by laughing. “So does Lady A, and she’s very particular. You know, she’s been here a few years and rarely fucks the clients. In fact, I can probably count on one hand how many she’s?—”
“Do you have a point?” Jaime interrupted.
“Mypointis that unless you’re trying to get her to confess, you’re probably not going to get her to open her legs for you. I, on the other hand, am not particular at all. I will doanythingyou want.”
Jaime frowned. “You think I’m here because of the case?” Jaime knew she had to play it cool here. If she didn’t throw this woman off the scent, Sapphyre would open her mouth to anyone who would listen. It had to seem as though Jaime was playing…not working. “I can’t talk to you about an ongoing case,” she said aloud as she picked up the drink she’d ordered and leaned on the bar. And then Jaime lowered her voice as she said, “We found no evidence that anyone here was involved. I’m not here because of the case.” Jaime sized Sapphyre up, hoping she believed her. Perhaps even took pity on her. “Look, if brass found out that I came here to get my rocks off with a former person of interest, they’d have my badge. I like my job, so I’d rather it didn’t get out that I’m here.” As she swigged her beer, Jaime sighed. “Unfortunately, I developed a thing for Lady A. I can’t get her out of my fucking head. The only place I get to see her is here.”
“I don’t know what it is about her that has everyone so spellbound.” Sapphyre snorted. “But here’s a word of advice, Copper. Wedon’tlike your kind in here. It’s bad for business. If you want to fuck her, you have to pay for it. No more playing games with her.”
Jaime’s brows rose. “Excuse me?”
“Do that on your own time and away from here. When you’re in, attendance goes down.”
“This isn’t Reno, Sapphyre. It’s not illegal, and I have no jurisdiction.”For the sex work,Jaime amended silently.
“That doesn’t matter. A badge is a badge.”
Jaime opened her jacket. “No badge. And I’d appreciate it if you’d stop calling me a cop. I’m not a cop here. I’m just here to see Lady A.”
“You think people don’t see a cop when they look at you, honey?” Sapphyre laughed as she shook her head and reached over Jaime to grab a list of services. She pointed a few out. “Those are the ones you want to pick if you really want to fuck the prudish Lady A. But I’ll remind you, I’m not picky.”
Prudish. Jaime nearly laughed out loud. Anya was the opposite of prudish. There were things she’d done to Jaime thathad her blushing. “I think I’ll take my chances with Lady A, thanks. You may be a little too much for me.”
Jaime saluted Sapphyre with her drink, took the list of services, and walked away. It had been an interesting conversation, to say the least.‘If you let a person talk long enough, you’ll hear their true intentions. Listen twice, speak once.’With Tupac’s words sitting firm in her mind—words she’d used many times in her career during interrogations—Jaime mulled over Sapphyre’s conversation for a moment. There was something about their encounter that didn’t sit right with Jaime. She wanted to discuss it with Anya and get her take on it, but first things first. It was time to pick a full-service package with Lady A.
“Tell me your desires.”
Lady A’s heart was racing. Mentally, she understood what she needed to do tonight. Physically, she was glad she hadn’t eaten anything because her stomach was threatening to revolt. Obviously,thathad nothing to do with being with Jaime. Sex with Jaime was beyond amazing…when people weren’t watching and plotting a dismembering death. How in the hell was Anya/Lady A supposed to turn on the sexiness when she was essentially putting someone she cared about in the crosshairs? Catching killers was her job.It used to be your job!Either way, it was time to put her skills back into action.
“You are my desire, Lady A.” Despite knowing her colleagues weren’t tapped into this feed, that didn’t mean they wouldn’t see it later on if it became evidence. So Jaime had chosen a package that she could control. She didn’t want to think about the other times she’d spent in here being gawked at by God knows who.No, she needed to focus on here and now, or all of this would be for nothing.
“You’re back for more,” Lady A responded, her voice low and seductive. “And you’ve decided on a more…thorough package.”The Ultimate Fantasy.This package was the most expensive service on Lady A’s list. And that was because it gave the client more power over what happened. This was their chance to live out their most erotic fantasy. Within Lady A’s boundaries, of course. She was curious to discover Jaime’s deepest desires and to know how far she was willing to go with them tonight.
Jaime—still fully dressed—moved towards Lady A, holding a glass of champagne in each hand. She offered one to Lady A, smiling when she took it, and they clinked their glasses. Jaime trained her eyes on Lady A’s lips as she took a sip. This package came with several extras. Food, drinks, a selection of music, and even a pleasant scent in the air. Jaime had decided to forgo the food, opted for expensive champagne, selected romantic music, and chose a light jasmine scent. It reminded her of Anya.
“As I said,youare my desire. I’ve tried getting you out of my head, but I can’t. I thought that maybe I just needed to get off, that maybe going to a bar and finding someone else would help.” Jaime downed the rest of her champagne and set both glasses aside. She took Lady A in her arms and pulled her close. “But nobody came close to making me as wet as you do just by looking at me. Nobody made my heart skip a beat by speaking to me the way you do. All I think about…isyou.” Jaime lowered her head and kissed Lady A’s exposed neck. Most of what Jaime was saying was true. The only lie was the bar. The hitch in Lady A’s breath and tightening grip on Jaime’s arms indicated to Jaime that Lady A understood.
“What are you doing?”Anya spoke low, close to Jaime’s ear. She’d been prepared for something fast, sweaty, and raunchy. This wasnoneof that. This was…raw and real.
“Living out my true fantasy,” Jaime whispered. She backed up and traced a finger down Lady A’s cheek. “I don’t know what else to do, Lady A. Part of me wants to fulfill this fantasy of you. To know what it’s like totouchyou,tasteyou, andfeelyour body under mine. I want to feel you release around my fingers, and then I want you to come in my mouth.”
